Kurt Elling
Kurt Elling is one of the most inventive and decorated male jazz vocalists of our time, renowned for his signature rich sound, contemporary Beat lyricism, and vocalese ingenuity. The New York Times called him "the standout male jazz vocalist of our time," and The Guardian (UK) dubbed him "a kind of Sinatra with superpowers."
A two-time GRAMMY® Award winner, Elling has earned 17 GRAMMY nominations and has spent two decades leading the DownBeat Critics and Readers polls. He has performed in over 70 countries and frequently appears as a soloist with premier orchestras globally, including the New York Philharmonic.
